Resident Evil getting 'full-scale offensive' from Capcom this year

The release of Resident Evil shooter spinoff Umbrella Corps next month represents just a "warmup" for what Capcom has in store for the full year, the Japanese company teased today.

In Capcom's newest earnings report, released today, the company said Umbrella Corps is a "warmup to the full-scale offensive planned for the second half of the year."

This is not necessarily a reference to Resident Evil 7, which is rumored to be in development. In the statement, Capcom pointed out that the Resident Evil series is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, so it could be that the "full-scale offensive" is in reference to the company's celebration plans.
